Osee 7
1 When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
Pamene ndichiritsa Israeli, machimo a Efereimu amaonekera poyera ndiponso milandu ya Samariya sibisika. Iwo amachita zachinyengo, mbala zimathyola nyumba, achifwamba amalanda anthu katundu mʼmisewu.
2 that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
Koma sazindikira kuti Ine ndimakumbukira zoyipa zawo zonse. Azunguliridwa ndi zolakwa zawo; ndipo sizichoka mʼmaso mwanga.
3 They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
“Anthuwa amasangalatsa mfumu ndi zoyipa zawozo, akalonga amasekerera mabodza awo.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
Onsewa ndi anthu azigololo, otentha ngati moto wa mu uvuni, umene wophika buledi sasonkhezera kuyambira pamene akukanda buledi mpaka atafufuma.
5 [In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
Pa tsiku la chikondwerero cha mfumu yathu akalonga amaledzera ndi vinyo, ndipo amalowa mʼgulu la anthu achipongwe.
6 Therefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
Mitima yawo ili ngati uvuni; amayandikira Mulungu mwachiwembu. Ukali wawo umanyeka usiku wonse, mmawa umayaka ngati malawi a moto.
7 They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not amongst them one that called on me.
Onsewa ndi otentha ngati uvuni, amapha olamulira awo. Mafumu awo onse amagwa, ndipo palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amandiyitana Ine.
8 Ephraim is mixed amongst his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
“Efereimu wasakanikirana ndi mitundu ya anthu ena; Efereimu ndi buledi amene wapsa mbali imodzi.
9 Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
Alendo atha mphamvu zake, koma iye sakuzindikira. Tsitsi lake layamba imvi koma iye sakudziwa.
10 And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
Kunyada kwake Israeli kukumutsutsa, koma pa zonsezi iye sakubwerera kwa Yehova Mulungu wake kapena kumufunafuna.
11 And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
“Efereimu ali ngati nkhunda yopusa yopanda nzeru. Amayitana Igupto namapita ku Asiriya.
12 Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumour of their [coming] affliction.
Akamadzapita, ndidzawakola ndi ukonde wanga; ndidzawagwetsa pansi ngati mbalame zamumlengalenga. Ndikadzamva kuti asonkhana pamodzi ndidzawakola.
13 Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
Tsoka kwa iwo, chifukwa andisiya Ine! Chiwonongeko kwa iwo, chifukwa andiwukira! Ndimafunitsitsa kuwapulumutsa koma amayankhula za Ine monama.
14 And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
Iwo salirira kwa Ine kuchokera pansi pa mtima, koma amalira mofuwula ali pa bedi pawo. Amadzichekacheka chifukwa chofuna tirigu ndi vinyo watsopano, koma amandifulatira.
15 They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
Ine ndinawaphunzitsa ndikuwalimbitsa, koma amandikonzera chiwembu.
16 They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nothing in the land of Egypt.
Iwo satembenukira kwa Wammwambamwamba; ali ngati uta woonongeka. Atsogoleri awo adzaphedwa ndi lupanga chifukwa cha mawu awo achipongwe. Motero iwo adzasekedwa mʼdziko la Igupto.
